By direct investment in the government of Saint Kitts and Nevis, the Fund focuses on stimulating areas such as education, health and infrastructure, mitigating climate change, sustaining economic growth, and promoting, preserving, protecting and developing the culture and heritage of the nation. The amount of the subsidy for the main applicant is $ 150,000 plus $ 25,000 for the spouse and $ 10,000 for each other dependent. Therefore, for a family of four consisting of the main applicant, spouse (s) and two children, a total of $ 195,000 will be required. For each additional dependent, a contribution of $ 10,000 is required. SUGAR INDUSTRY DIVERSIFICATION FUND (SIDF) The SIDF option is the most popular alternative for obtaining citizenship through the investment of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Approved in 2006, SIDF is a public charity that helps the Government diversify the economies of Saint Kitts and Nevis. The minimum deposit required for the SIDF option is $ 250,000.
INVESTMENT IN PRELIMINARY APPROVED REAL ESTATE As part of the pre-approved property option, property is required to be purchased. The minimum investment amount for a pre-approved property is $ 400,000, with a subsequent requirement to keep this property for at least five years. Alternatively, applicants can make a joint investment where each investor must contribute a minimum of $ 200,000. In this case, in order to maintain the status of economic citizenship, real estate must be held in ownership for seven years. Additional government fees apply to both real estate purchase options.
